Yes Leinster beat them in the pool stage, but knockout game is a different kettle of fish.

Leicester showed tonight that leinster can be got at. I expect LRog to have the pack to deal with them, but it will be close.Neill_M wrote:Leinster La Rochelle, will Leinster get that monkey of their back or will ROG still live rent free in their heads.....

2 seasons ago ulster was going toe to toe with Toulouse. Imagine the damage some of these sides could inflict on the current ulster team.jean valjean wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 10:41 pmLeicester showed tonight that leinster can be got at.

Re: Other Champions / Challenge Cup
Takn from the tournament website...
The Round of 16 threw up some thrilling battles, but only eight have been able to make it to the quarter-final stage, with all matches set to take place next weekend.
The highest ranked club in each match will have home venue advantage in the quarter-final and semi-final stage.
Seems to suggest sharks will be at home should they win the quarter, especially since the champions Cup semi locations were announced today - leinster choosing croke park.
